The New England Patriots, after beating the Chicago Bears the previous week, dropped their Week 11 matchup on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 at Gillette Stadium. Jerod Mayo's team now stands at 3-8 and is in a tie for third place in the AFC East with the New York Jets.

The New England Patriots dropped their eighth loss of the season in Sunday’s Week 11 clash with the visiting Los Angeles Rams. There was no carryover effect for the Patriots’ defensive masterpiece against the Chicago Bears last week.

It’s no surprise that the Los Angeles Rams are favored against the New England Patriots in Week 11, despite having to travel across the country for an early 1 p.m. ET kickoff. They’ve been the better team all season, even after losing in disappointing fashion to the Miami Dolphins on Monday night.
